Cube Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I played through the original recently and it still feels fresh and innovative. Update the graphics, AI and a few other things and it'll be fantastic. An altered, 8-player, version of the Counter-Op mode could also be brilliant (if done right).
Bren Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I just pur-chased meself a copy of Condemned for £8 2nd hand from gamestation - I reckon it'll be worth that price. Id pay £50 to this day for that game, its so good, best played in the dark whilst stoned
Goron_3 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I personally preferred Mass Effect to Fable 2, which promised oh so much freedom but really felt like a previous-gen game when it boiled down to it. Braid is one of those games where I am jealous of the newcomers as they get to experience the mechanisms and plot for the first time. Grr! Ah the feeling of beating Braid the first time...probably up there with my best ever gaming memories. Infact, I'd say it's at the top along with seeing adult Link in OoT; Braid really is incredible Can't wait to play Halo and Gears online So the general opinion is that PDZ is quite a mediocre game? Oh well, it was only £3.99. Any other of the older titles I should be looking out for, I have been going through the older reviews on IGN and it seems nothing really touches Halo and Gears for the Multiplayer. Fable 2 looks good as well, might get that. Oh, and all the XBLA games, Castle Crashers and Braid are popular. Yeah Halo is pretty damn amazing online tbh and there's always a fair few people playing it. It's at it's best though if you can find someone/group of people to help you into it, because it takes a while for you to start getting good enough to enjoy that feeling for getting killing spree after killing spree.... Fable is quality, as is Dead Space. I strongly recommend those two. OH! Bionic Commando is wicked you should definately give that a shot.
Guest Jordan Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Just been playing Dark Sector... apart from the insane amount of grey, its actually quite good.
LegoMan1031 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Just been playing Dark Sector... apart from the insane amount of grey, its actually quite good. I have just ordered that off shopto! Can't argue with trying it out for £6.99!
yesteryeargames Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 love the resi demo, anyone else tho noticed the game has some tearing in the demo, pdz is one of my fav games on 360 , loved the online, kept loads of early 360 users happy till the big games came out, obv there are better shooters now, but its deffinatly worth picking up for the price its at now left for dead everone should own
Guest Jordan Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah that screen tearing is very obvious unless you're running in 720p... I guess the upscaler can't keep up with it. Or something. But... I love 1080p
jayseven Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Id pay £50 to this day for that game, its so good, best played in the dark whilst stoned Lol - I could imagine! I was playing it in the dark late at night while extremely drunk. I think I did the first level. I kept getting insanely lost - When I found that I'd only found one bird and no metal bits (or something) I started the level again and just got even more lost. Sigh!
Hero-of-Time Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I have just ordered that off shopto! Can't argue with trying it out for £6.99! £4.99 over at play.com
Guest Jordan Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I got it for £3.99 pre owned... No shit. Cheapest 360 game i've ever bought.
Gizmo Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Condemned 1 for a fiver at Play? Consider that bought. Ah shit, got mixed up. Dark Sector though, my friend rented that. Might ask him if its worth it.
Caris Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah that screen tearing is very obvious unless you're running in 720p... I guess the upscaler can't keep up with it. Or something. But... I love 1080p what are games like in 1080p? Do games like Halo 3 which are really jaggy at 720p look any better with the extra upscaling?
McPhee Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I know they look absolutely su-bleedin-perb on my set. Pure was especially stunning Not tried Halo 3 yet.
LegoMan1031 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 £4.99 over at play.com Now u tell me! lol. Oh well, i can live with the £2 difference! Banjo-Tooie on XBLA screens Excellent, can't wait to play it for the first time! I got it for £3.99 pre owned... No shit. Cheapest 360 game i've ever bought. Cool, cheapest one i ever bought was Kameo i think from Toys'R'Us many moons ago!
Gizmo Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Original plan Stop N Swop - hell yeah! Can't wait for April now...
ShadowV7 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Original plan Stop N Swop - hell yeah! Can't wait for April now... Yeah, just read this about 5 minutes ago, now i'm gonna go download BK!
Guest Jordan Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 what are games like in 1080p? Do games like Halo 3 which are really jaggy at 720p look any better with the extra upscaling? Game that can actually run in 1080p (few and far between) just look... out of this world in comparison to 720p. But theres little to know difference in 720p/1080i upscaled stuff.
ThePigMarcher Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 now i'm gonna go download BK! I downloaded this yesterday (didn't have my 360 when the pre-order freebies were handed out) and I had forgotten how bloody good it is. I seem to also have forgotten a lot of my way around and apart from Mumbo's Mountain it has been a struggle . Have just spent ages trying to free Clanker and that is doing my head in as I can't seem to get the camera to behave so keep missing the bubbles to extend my fresh air. Released him once and couldn't get to fresh air quick enough so died and he reset , aaarrrggghh. Still loving it though , sort of , anyway .
Bren Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Lol - I could imagine! I was playing it in the dark late at night while extremely drunk. I think I did the first level. I kept getting insanely lost - When I found that I'd only found one bird and no metal bits (or something) I started the level again and just got even more lost. Sigh! psshs your playing it all wrong, first time play, justr enjoy it and go through it, dont worry about finding anything youll ruin the experience, just go at your own pace, u can always play again (which youll want to do). J get lost in the horror that is condemned
jayseven Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Ok, advice noted It's tricky playing anything while fallout is sitting in the tray. I still want to have a couple more runs through Mass Effect, start kane and lynch, condemned; play prey, FEAR, Pure, Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry 4 and Bioshock properly too... And maybe put a bit more effort and get more achievements in Skate, Fable, Katamari and Rockband. ARG TOO MANY GAMES! I reckon I'm about 15 hours from finishing Fallout 3, so I'll try and play Condemned first. I say Condemned 2 for £15 and was veery tempted to pick it up at the same time - but cheers for the advice, I will just race through it first time
Dyson Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 ...Really bizarre. Apparently my 360 is being shipped back to me only 6 days after it was picked up from my flat. Wasn't expecting it to be anywhere as quick as it was, meaning I now think something is indeed wrong here.
Guest Jordan Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 They probably just gave you a new one... Thats what happened to Letty.
